The Linux kernel is 38 million LOC. #curl is 170K. The kernel is 223 times bigger.

The Linux kernel ships 60 CVEs per week, 3100 per year.

curl ships on average 13 CVEs per year, 3100/223 = 14

== Roughly the same CVE/line of code ratio.

I like how the YouTube premium pop-up is "WATCH YOUTUBE WITHOUT ADS" as a tacit acknowledgement that ramming ads down your throat isn't like, cool. It should really say "WE'RE STILL GOING TO DO ALL THAT OTHER SHIT"

59F this morning. Quite a nip to the air. I think it's an equal low for the meteorological record. I went away for two weeks leaving a garden I thought I'd have to comprehensively reseed in Autumn, and it looked like the jungle on return. The drought of June and July ending in dramatic fashion. I don't think we're quite caught up with rain totals yet. Back to some searing highs next week.

Level 1 charging is just a convenience provision. No modern large battery is practical at such a speed.

These people do themselves no favors. Of you want to plug it in at home you need a level 2 240v line. This is basic stuff.

> Meanwhile, the customers whose loyalty businesses have worked so diligently for years to win have watched in dismay as the products and services they’ve come to rely on have been, practically overnight, colonized by an infestation of poorly considered, hastily implemented AI-fueled “features” that, like a break-out of acne, make almost any interaction a nightmarish exercise in humiliation and futility.

Had a little nap due to jetlag. Crashed out hard and thought it was the next morning. Feel like I could sleep another day.

When it's hot in the evening my Dad's dog likes to nap on the tiling on the stairwell. He only moves to go to his water bowl or see if we have any snacks to donate.

I am an absolute sucker for the enthusiastic role of computing and a little bit of philosophy and fiction.
